Kill Chain, Introduction; Geopolitics, Ch 1, up to p 11 Important to keep in mind for this quiz and all quizzes going forward: You must work by yourself on these quizzes!  It’s open-book, and you can bring in other resources if you like (not in place of the books, but in addition to it), so long as you properly cite those OTHER resources.  Plagiarism, as you are already aware, will result in failure for this quiz and possibly the course: do not copy and paste from any other resource, ever.  Do not ever pass someone else’s work off as yours.  In fact, while an appropriately applied quote here and there is ok, it’s much better to use your own words to answer the following questions.  Too many quotations will lower your grade.  Be sure to note the page number from where you get any material for your answers, and use parentheses to show the page, like here for example (43).  In grading your quizzes, I will be using the Turn-It-In program, which analyzes all papers for plagiarism.  If you share your work with others and they just copy and paste from your work, you both fail for plagiarism.  Finally, PROOFREAD your answers before submitting.  Grammar matters!  Proper spelling, punctuation, and capitalization are all necessary to get good grades.  these are the questions On the first page of chapter 1, Dodds notes the ongoing relevance of geopolitics.  Why or how is it still relevant, according to Dobbs?   What is the topic of geopolitics preoccupied with?  What other concerns?   The author states that there are “two distinct understandings of geopolitics.”  What are they?  Explain. Kill Chain What experience does the author, Christian Bose, have?  Why does he believe he is qualified to write this book?   What country does he believe is the rising threat to the US?  What country is he worried about in writing this book?   Why is this country a formidable threat to the US?  According to Bose, why did the US allow itself to be challenged by this other country?  How did the US drop the ball?     On the one hand, it would sound great from an American perspective that the US has an almost perfect record in war games against this other country.  Why is that record not good for the US?   What is a “kill chain”?  The author says there are three steps to a kill chain.  What are they?   I know it’s early in the book, but so far what are your first impressions of Kill Chain?  What are the book’s strengths and weaknesses?  In a hearty paragraph, please elaborate on your reasons, or show examples, or countering or supporting evidence.
